Trinity Rules: LyX and LaTEX Setup

There’s no obvious documentation for the Document → Settings  → PDF Properties → Addition Options values, but these make the crossref links look better:

urlcolor=blue,linkcolor=blue

For what it’s worth, LyX is still the right hammer for this job, although when something goes wrong, the error messages are truly oracular…

Memo to Self: no line numbers in the final version!
